The Voice Project features many artists, some you’ve heard of, some you haven’t, covering songs in support of a Ugandan women’s group trying to rescue child soldiers. “Bring our boys home” takes on a heartbreakingly literal meaning. [The Voice Project]

A major hurdle in cover a song is the complicated legalese about permissions, fees, etc. Limelight takes some of the stress out, making it cheaper and easier. [Limelight]

Streetlight Manifesto has dropped their first installment of 99 Songs of Revolution. Apparently this covers set aims to get them out of their label contract, but the ska-punk takes on Cyrkle, Squirrel Nut Zippers and Radiohead aren’t bad. [Streetlight Manifesto]

Too many covers went down at SXSW to even go into, but Casxio tackling “Nothing Compares 2 U” is worth a shout-out. [The Music Slut]

Cross your fingers for the upcoming Phish 3D movie to include their Exile on Main Street cover set. The trailer indicates it’s got some at least. [Phish 3D]
